Chapter 155 A Warm Bed
Xiao Fen: "..."
These words weren't spoken to her mother-in-law; they were clearly directed at her.
……
Once the job was decided, the next issue was raising the money.
However, we'll have to ask Wang Yinhua for her opinion on the exact amount.
Although the old lady paid the majority of the money, the rest still had to be paid by the family.
As for who should pay, it's getting late and the lights are about to go out, so we haven't had time to discuss that yet.
Go back inside and close the door.
Xu Sui opened the wardrobe, took out her pajamas, and planned to change her clothes and prepare for bed.
The room was too small; there was no place to change clothes.
Now that she's heavily pregnant, it's not very convenient for her to change clothes under the covers.
I'm exhausted after a long day.
Xu Sui didn't want to go to bed without changing her pajamas, so she quickly started changing while Qin Yunzhou was reading and not paying attention.
She first glanced at the man who was still reading in bed, and saw that he was reading very seriously and kept his head down.
Then he turned around, his back to Qin Yunzhou.
She took off her coat, revealing a black turtleneck sweater underneath.
The sweater is fitted and accentuates the figure.
After taking off her coat, her pregnant belly was clearly visible. The more months she went, the more her belly changed every day. She was only four months pregnant, but her belly was already almost as big as someone who was five or six months pregnant.
Xu Sui quickly took off the close-fitting sweater. It was a bit tight and difficult to take off. It took her quite a bit of effort to finally get the sweater off, revealing the undershirt she was wearing underneath and her fair and delicate skin.
Little did she know that the man behind her, who appeared to be reading a book, was actually paying attention to her and had no intention of peeking.
But when she looked up, she saw a patch of snow-white skin. Her jet-black hair couldn't hide her soft, fair body at all. Like a newly sprouted willow branch, it was supple, light, and dazzlingly beautiful, with a touch of alluring charm.
Qin Yunzhou felt a surge of heat rise in his body, his ears turned red, and his Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously several times.
He subconsciously looked away, but found he couldn't look away no matter what he did.
His mind was filled with Xu Sui's soft, white back. Unconsciously, he recalled their first and only time together.
That night, because he was under the influence of drugs, he was initially not very conscious and was relying entirely on instinct to take what he wanted. His mind was in chaos until his consciousness gradually returned.
I think mostly about the panic of that messy relationship; I can hardly remember anything else.
Qin Yunzhou forcibly looked away, no longer glancing at his surroundings.
If I keep watching, I won't be able to hold back anymore.
He put down the book in his hand, got up, picked up the thermos, poured a glass of water, and originally wanted to suppress the heat in his body.
However, what came out was hot water.
I took a sip, and it was hot, but instead of cooling me down, it made me feel even hotter and more unbearable.
On the other side, Xu Sui had just changed into her pajamas and hadn't even turned around when she heard the door open and the man's hurried footsteps as he left.
She subconsciously looked up and only saw Qin Yunzhou's hurried figure and the cane that had not yet been taken away.
Xu Sui was puzzled. What was wrong? Why did they rush out like that, without even taking their cane?
Qin Yunzhou's leg is better now. He can walk with difficulty without crutches, but he still limps.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this person doesn't seem to care much about his appearance. In reality, he is very strict with himself. Even with his leg problems, he still walks with a straight posture and is tall and imposing.
If you don't look closely at the cane in his hand, most people wouldn't be able to tell that Qin Yunzhou has difficulty walking.
Xu Sui didn't think much of it, just assuming that people have to use the restroom.
Autumn has arrived, the weather is getting colder, and the nights are even colder.
She got into bed, snuggled under the covers, and was about to close her eyes and get a good night's sleep.
However, when she pulled the blanket up, she touched Qin Yunzhou's blanket. It was cold and hard, like a stone. When she got closer and took a sniff, it also had a faint smell of old mold.
They always used their own blankets.
One of the blankets was an old blanket that was provided by the family when they arrived here.
The other quilt was a new one they bought when they got married in the army. They even specially chose the best cotton quilt, and the quilt cover was not cheap either. Just touching it made it extremely soft and warm.
Xu Sui touched her soft and warm new quilt, and then touched the hard, cold old cotton quilt that Qin Yunzhou usually used.
A complex emotion flickered in her eyes, and she pursed her lips.
This old quilt is fine in the summer, but it's basically not warm enough in the fall or winter.
The weather outside has gotten colder these days.
Qin Yunzhou remained covered with this old quilt, seemingly without any sign of anything amiss.
If it hadn't been discovered by chance tonight, would he have planned to keep quiet forever?
Xu Sui suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, got out of bed, folded Qin Yunzhou's old quilt, and carried it to the wardrobe.
Cotton coupons were hard to come by, and new cotton quilts were even rarer.
Especially in recent years, there has been a famine, and cotton production has dropped significantly. Ordinary families cannot even afford to buy new cotton quilts for weddings. They rely on taking cotton from old quilts and refurbishing them, adding some new cotton to make them barely new quilts for the newlyweds.
Given the Qin family's circumstances, they probably didn't have any good quilts, so they could only bring over old ones.
Xu Sui was very glad that she had brought this new quilt with her.
Otherwise, how will we get through this winter?
Even with two of these old quilts, it wouldn't be very warm. Luckily, they brought back the quilt they used for their wedding.
Soon, all the lights in the compound were turned off, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.
Everyone started to go to sleep.
Qin Yunzhou, who had rushed out and forcibly suppressed the burning sensation within his body, also returned.
I came back and closed the door.
He was just about to lift the covers and get into bed.
The next second, however, something was wrong.
The quilt she usually used was gone, replaced by the soft, fluffy new cotton quilt that Xu Sui usually used.
Xu Sui usually likes to wrap herself in a blanket when she sleeps.
The blankets have never been spread out like this before, and even spread over his side.
A guess suddenly popped into my head.
In the pitch-black night, a cold wind howled outside the window.
He realized that Xu Sui was concerned about him.
Qin Yunzhou's lips unconsciously curved upwards slightly, a warm current welled up in his heart, and he looked at the woman lying on the bed with a tender and affectionate look in his eyes.
He carefully lifted the covers and got into bed, trying not to disturb the sleeping Xu Sui.
As soon as I lay down in bed, the old blanket was no longer stiff or stuffy.
It's so warm.
The blanket still carried Xu Sui's faint fragrance, almost identical to the scent, which smelled sweet and pleasant.
Covered with such a warm, soft quilt that carries the scent of a woman.
Qin Yunzhou couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The next second, the person who was sleeping inside unknowingly rolled over and into his arms.
This time, things are different from before.
Previously, they each used their own blankets, and no matter how much they rolled around, there was always a blanket to keep them from falling.
However, tonight, they are sharing the same blanket.
Qin Yunzhou could clearly feel the person in his arms; their body was incredibly soft, and they even snuggled against his chest.
It was just a small, unconscious action.
Qin Yunzhou's body suddenly stiffened, and the heat within him intensified. He subconsciously tightened his embrace around the person in his arms.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but lower his head, getting closer to Xu Sui's face, and then closer to her soft lips...
